Glad it worked for you mvirard! As a side note, this actually is a Crackberry display problem, as they shorten long URLs. In this and other threads we've been trying to clarify that the URL is shortened but sometimes it doesn't come across. Please feel free to ask if you have any trouble when something that seems to be working for others isn't working for you; many of us will be happy to work with you to track it down.
Really appreciate the help as well ~!! :)
This method worked perfectly. I too was faked out by the URL that was shown, not realizing it was being shortened and I was leaving parts out.
Actually, there’s a simpler way to do import from Gmail Contacts to Blackberry Address Book which detailed in steps below:
Export all contacts (or selected contacts) from Gmail Contacts to VCF (Business Card) file format. The result is file contacts.vcf.
Send that file through bluetooth/mail to your Blackberry device and voila! all contacts has been added to Blackberry Address Book.
Hope this help for many readers! Thanks.
Except completely missing the point of contact syncing.

When I go into export contact I am only given the options Google CSV, Outlook CSV, vCard (for iOS contacts). Where do you find the VCF format?
I am using a new Classic and cannot get my Google contacts to sync. I've followed everything here, trying all the different server names. I do not have 2FA on and I have less secure accounts ON. I am still getting the error.
At this point, just importing my contacts will help even if sync will not work.
Okay...
We solving the "Gmail contacts can't be added..." Issue First. Right ?
Howdy,
The vCard (for iOS contacts) should be in the in the VCF format mate.
Cheers
Hey, to get your contacts syncing, take a look at this complete guide and make sure you follow each step right to the letter. It should work fine.

Had to read lots and tried lots until I found this post that had everything I needed. I did not need an app password nor did i have to log out of my pc browser. I did make sure to be logged out of all browsers on my passport. I could not find where to turn on access to less secure apps until i finally turned off 2FA. Geez!!!
Any hoot, A big thank you to you TT and Ben xfg. Hope we dont have to deal with any other problems from Goofle for a while.
One question though, after all is said and done and I have turned 2FA back on can we also turn off the setting for "access for less secure apps" or does it need to remain on?
Not sure if you've seen the complete guide, should answer your questions...

The post I quoted worked for me.
Hammered out on my Precious Passport
Perfect. Just thought your other question would be cleared up when read the other post.
Specifically though, if you have 2FA enabled then there's no need to have Less Secure Apps turned on, and vice-versa. But if you don't have 2FA enabled then having LSA enabled is indeed mandatory.

THIS SAVED ME just make sure that your using the new service address, I had to add the gmail account without selecting contacts then go back in and select adv,carddav its working finally
On my Classic Q20, latest OS (10.3.3.xxx):
I could only add Gmail and Calendar from my Google account.
My Google account has 2-step verification turned on.
I successfully added Google contacts by doing these steps:
- Add Account with Carddav option
- Use the newer server address: ..../lists/defaut/
- Create Google App password: choose Contacts -> Blackberry
- Use the password you've just created to put into the password field.
Done.
It didn't work until I used Google App password.
